Work on RasMol is the result of the efforts of many people throughout
the structural biology community (see the long list of credits on the version
you are using).
The
primary center for support and coordination is at
Bernstein + Sons in Bellport, NY, USA
This work was sponsored
in part over many years by grants from the U. S. National
Science Foundation, the U. S. Department of Energy, the U. S. NIH National
Institute for General Medical Sciences and the International Union for
Crystallography and by donations from members of the community of
equipment, money, ideas and code. It is now a pro bono open source development effort of
Bernstein + Sons.
Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or
recommendations expressed

May we trouble you to consider helping to support of the
development of RasMol and the other programs coming to you from
the Bernstein+Sons. It is getting harder and harder to get
government grants in support of open source software development,
and many projects are moving to crowd sourcing. It is time for
RasMol to do the same. These programs will remain available
without charge. You will just be helping us to do further
development in these challenging times.

Your gift will help us to add features to these programs, port them
to additional platforms, and to resolve problems.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

The buttons below will allow you to make a credit card gift via
PayPal. If you would prefer make a gift by check, or by contributing
remote access to equipment to be used for porting and testing, or
by contributing in some other way, your help will be greatly
appreciated. Please see the contact information below.

We would appreciate donations in support of the open source development activities
of Bernstein+Sons. This work for the public good at
the Bernstein+Sons includes support of development for molecular
graphics and bioinformatics, including RasMol, CIF software
and other packages related to structural biology, and distribution
of compiled binaries of programs useful in structural
biology.

In the past, this work been supported in part by grants from the National
Science Foundation, the U. S. Department of Energy, the U. S. NIH National
Institute for General Medical Sciences and the International
Union of Crystallography as well as by donations from members
of the community like you, but times are changing. This will
be an experiment in crowd-sourcing these open source efforts. Please
note that these donations do not qualify as U.S. charitable
donations. Bernstein+Sons is not a 501(c)3, nor is it any sort of
a charitable organiztion. We will pay the U.S. taxes on them as ordinary income.

Your donation will help us to add features to these programs,
port them to more platforms and to resolve problems.
Your donation help allow us to participate in relevant meetings and to maintain the
infrastructure at Bernstein+Sons.

The open source work at Bernstein+Sons includes development and maintenance for the
following projects.
Contributions in the form of bug reports, code, comments, suggestions,
access to computers, donations of access to hardware, software and money are
all appreciated.
